FROM STATE FIRE:
Resources continue making progress on the fire and have additional containment added along the north and south sides of the fire. It is now 60% contained at 913 acres. The decrease in acreage is due to more accurate mapping. The fire continues to creep and smolder along the west and northwest flanks near Kingsbury Mountain and Sadies Peak due to hot and dry conditions. Resources are actively engaged in those areas using direct tactics to contain the fire. Across the fire's perimeter resources are cold trailing - checking for any potential remaining hot spots and mopping up. Engines are patrolling checking for any smokes within the fire's interior. Currently 100 personnel are supporting the fire including a hotshot crew, two state hand crews, engines, water tenders, and a dozer. ��Fire located 2.5 miles northeast of Hillside in Yavapai County
